Comment (by Behinder):

 Thanks Rene Bertin I should rather contact you than Ken who is a moron :(
 This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ_Ckgm0AVc suggest Apple
 Silicon have support for 4.6 and Ken is talking about ancient 2.1
 ANd yet again conversation about "if macports add something then others
 will suffer..." attitude.

 The whole point of MESA is to provide support for something that Apple
 haven't done. Also point of Vulkan is to create intermediate layer to
 translate OpenGL to Metal.
 Open source software was always about solving problems by community thanks
 to the code being open and easily modified and I see it's not the case
 here,so my point is valid - because Qemu is not able to provide on SIlicon
 Macs (which more and more people own) native acceleration in x86 mode it
 should be hidden and masked (similar as it is done on Gentoo) - let people
 intrested build stuff themselves and  Macports focus on Intel like it
 always did.

 Anyway I'm done - it is probably cheaper to get X86 device that making
 arguments nobody here listen to.
